1. I think my husband is gradually turning metrosexual.
He's started to enjoy shopping and was bitching last week that his closet space was "entirely inadequate".

3. Actually he does...

He looks darn good! He went and had Lasik eye surgery done a couple years ago, and ever since he hasn't had to wear his glasses (big ugly square dork frames IMO) he's slowly come out of his shell and started caring more about clothes and his hair and stuff. I can see a huge fight brewing over the closet space though.

5. More like reeling in jealousy.
My metro brother has a better nail polish collection than me.

18. I think my boyfriend is a bit of a metrosexual, though he wouldn't think so
He uses hair product, scented body washes, daytime and nighttime colognes. When he buys clothing as a present, he is able to pick out something that will look really good on the person, based on style, colors. (He's given me clothing that I thought nothing of when I opened the package, but when I put the item on, it looked great on me and I loved it!)

What do you think--is he a metrosexual? :-)

19. I'd say so
To a tasteful degree--the true mark of the metrosexual.

21. The REAL test:
Does he "buff" his finger nails?

Or sneak out for the occasional MANicure?

23. No, he doesn''t do that, but he does go out for a
(legitimate) message on occasion to de-stress from his job and relieve tight muscles.

22. Definitely!
I hope he has many other fine qualities too. If so, he's a keeper. :P
